Okay, I still do not understand the technical details, I do understand that it is better to use VST2 above VST3 since I do not need the extra benefits of VST3. Thanks @PulseWave and @saccamano and @liluglymonsta!

One thing I would like to add. Since I use Reaper as DAW, I have both Reaper under Wine and native Linux with Yabridge. That leads to some strange things that a plugin will not run in Reaper under Wine but does run under Reaper Linux. For example Melodyne. And sometimes it is just the other way around. By using both Reaper versions I have a bit more chances to get a plugin running.

 

Hi @paul_audioz, let me try to explain it another way. VST2 was the standard for years, then the shortcomings, bugs, poor performance, and slowness were identified, and the decision was made to rapidly improve the VST2 standard. All that knowledge and technological advancement went into VST3. Overall, with VST3, you have a better product than VST2. Take part in the technological progress and use VST3.

 

And to write, "Stop torturing yourself and others by typing stupid commands on several lines, without access to any suitable music, graphics programs, or modern games - don't mess around, switch to Windows" - do you need to start a new thread?
Oh, my God, religious wars are endless...

 

Stoking a religious war and complaining about religious wars in the next sentence. Another impressive display of cognitive brilliance.

These village drunkards just can't stand the notion of a polite company having a calm, constructive discussion.

 

I don't use Apple either

 

@PulseWave VSTi2 allowed me to perform advanced and almost automatic sampling of any instrument that supports this format. With VSTi3 this is impossible due to the lack of compatible software, this format is also useless for me.

Edit: Windows 7 still reigns supreme for me, but I gave Linux a chance for other tasks, performs them in the same way as Windows.
